We are not sure what is up with Verizon and HTC but they keep launching new Android QWERTY palmtops that actually look the same. If you look closely, this isn’t the HTC Desire Z (or G2), Boy Genius Report has recently uploaded some of the photographs of an unnamed HTC QWERTY keypad mobile that is said to in the line up and could be announced pretty soon.

By looking at the images we don’t find anything new with this yet to be confirmed smartphone but we are rest assured that we will be publishing plenty more leaks before this unnamed smartphone is official.

HTC Android fans can be given a chance to be exited about this new leak but we surely are confused with the new device and will remain the same unless HTC comes up with some path breaking specifications for the same gadget.

Orange has announced today that its first ever Windows Phone 7 handsets to hit the UK – the HTC 7 Mozart and Samsung Omnia 7

Oxford Street based Orange store will open its doors at 7 am with anticipationo that queues of long awaited fans will be wanting a first look at these highly anticipated Windows Phone 7 mobiles.

While Microsoft fans are probably well aware, for those that need a recap, the HTC 7 Mozart features a 3.7-inch WVGA resolution, super LCD display, 8-megapixel camera, Dolby sound and a 1GHz processor. While the slightly higher spec Samsung’s Omnia 7 touts a 4.0-inch Super-AMOLED touchscreen and a 1 GHz processor.

Toshiba has announced its glasses free 3D prototype which has been successfully displayed at Japan’s largest gadget expo, the CEATEC 2010. We have been hearing about rumours of the device for the last few months but nothing was official from the companies side. Suddenly Toshiba has come up with this new technology at the CEATEC 2010 and has surely gathered alot of attention from around the planet.

The small screen size 3D TVs without glasses are targeted at a small group of early adopters. With the new TVs, Toshiba wants to prove that auto-stereoscopic 3D displays are both technologically and commercially feasible. “The commercial launch of our 12” and 20” 3D TVs without glasses in Japan is a first step into the 3D future in the consumer home cinema market,” says Sascha Lange. “But it will take several years to develop larger 3D TVs without glasses with screen sizes of 40” and more at a yet reasonable price point. Those who want to enjoy the 3D home cinema experience on a large screen already today are well served by 3D TV using active shutter glasses like the models of our WL768 series.

No need to run around for official words from T-Mobile regarding myTouch as the phone has been publicly announced by T-Mobile though no word on pricing and exact launch dates have been given out yet. The phone features 3.8 inches WVGA display with 5 MP caera and 720p video recording. myTouch comes loaded with MSM8255 Snapdragon core processor running at a speed of 1 GHz. Along with the heavily loaded 5 MP camera at the back the mobile has a secondary camera on its front too.

“Taking advantage of the 4G speeds on T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network, the new myTouch delivers a faster and more compelling experience than most competing smartphones on the market,” said Andrew Sherrard, vice president, product development, T-Mobile USA. “Our continued focus to build innovative new features and personalized services truly makes myTouch unique.

The phone has the usual connectivity which you’d expect – WiFi and 3G, in addition to complete support for T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network with Android 2.2 OS and 802.11n wireless LAN. Unlike other video-calling solutions on the market that only work through WiFi, video chat on the new myTouch enables customers to connect with loved ones spontaneously from practically anywhere through T-Mobile’s network or WiFi.

Well, we have a surprise for you here. We can easily tag the newly announced Motorola Droid Pro by Verizon as the first phone of the century which didn’t get leaked before its official announcement. And, I am super excited about this newly announced phone as it is actually different.

Coming out of the world of slider palm tops like everyone has been launching recently Motorola has gone to the extent of ignoring the slider for once and has come up with something which many would consider as a Blackberry lookalike – err, not really different I guess.
Motorola’s Blackberry (the so called Droid Pro) will of course have Android as its operating system though we are not yet confirmed regarding the version that it will have. The Droid Pro comes with responsive capacitive touch screen and a OMAP 3620 processor that runs with the speed of 1 GHz. It comes loaded with MDM6600 chipset, 512 MB of RAM, 2GB of internal memory, Wi-Fi, bluetooth 2.1 and tri-band UMTS.
It will also have dual LED flash with the auto-focus camera and a programmable key that can be set to any function as per your requirements.

Here’s LogicBUY’s latest gadget deal of the day for a Lenovo ThinkPad X201 laptop. Weighing in at less than 3 pounds with a 12-inch display, the ThinkPad X201 is an ultra light laptop with great performance.

The ThinkPad X201 laptop is powered by a Core i5 or i7 processor with 2GB of RAM. It has a 12-inch LED display with Intel HD graphics, and 250GB Hard Drive and 2GB memory (up to 8GB). Other key features include bluetooth, Intel Centrino Advanced-N Wireless, mobile broadband and 5-in-1 media reader. Key options include webcam, 128GB SSD, and 8-cell battery.

Well, we have had so many of similar looking phones that it is becoming increasingly hard to recognise which image reflects which particular phone. I reckon this is at leasat the case with recent Android tablets. Well, Motorola seems to be gearing up for one more similar launch and somehow it looks almost similar to the much hyped Droid. Not our mistake but phones today look so similar to each other (even as per their specifications) that it is pretty easy to call one the copy of the other!

The newly launched MT716 OPhone will boast an eight megapixel camera which will come with dual LED in-built flash and 720p HD video recording. The phone will also have an extra camera on its front for video based calls. The Motorola MT716 OPhone will come packed with WAPI connectivity (WiFi compatible) and TD-SCDMA radio. It also has CMMB TV streaming feature which makes it a bit different.
